Morten Thomassen discussed today another second place for Ukraine. ESC Covers  google translated it from Norwegian to English.

Sometimes one country really shines and for the second year in a row it was our Ukrainian friend who took silver.

They had to lose to Russian Dima Bilan by 42 points so very close to a victory Ani Lorak was not exactly.

Down to the third place that Greece took, they were only 12 points, but most thought that the show to the song “Shady Lady” was one of the most impressive of the evening.

Actually, it was probably only Norway, which finished in fifth place, that had a show that was more traditional.

Before the competition, Sweden’s Charlotte Perelli was a big favorite to win, but everything her stage show lacked, young Miss Lorak had with her on stage.

This was the second year in a row that this country sent a lady in silver, although the lady the year before was not quite real, if you understand.

Anyway, according to the sources I read, Ani Lorak, whose real name is Karolina Myroslvivna Kuiek, had a very tough and impoverished childhood.

If it has been a driving force in her career, but in adulthood she must have earned very good money from her artist career.

This lady has not been completely without controversy, she has performed quite a bit in Russia after the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

So even though she is very productive and often releases music, it is a question whether her musical services are wanted by Ukrainian TV .
